Description

Approached via discreet gates, opening onto a private drive which leads to the Grade II listed main house sitting at the heart of the property.
Occupying an elevated position in the rolling hills of the West Sussex-Surrey countryside, Willards Farm benefits from lovely far-reaching views to the west. The front door opens to a welcoming reception room, which branches off to the original wing of the house in one direction and the modern wing in the other. The modern wing comprises a fantastic open-plan family kitchen / dining room with pantry, fully equipped with Gaggenau appliances and handmade cabinetry, with double-height glass doors which run the length of the kitchen and open out to the garden. Adjacent is a wonderful music room, again with large dual aspect windows out to the garden, a unique hand-carved fireplace and a mezzanine above. In the other direction, the old wing of the house comprises a study, WC, snug with gas fireplace and the original drawing room featuring a fireplace and traditional wooden beams, dating back to the 16th century.
The newly installed cellar comprises a family media room, shower room and sauna, wine cellar, laundry area, plant room and central utility room, with staff access from outside via service steps. Upstairs, both the principal bedroom and guest bedroom are well-sized with en suites, with four further bedrooms, a 'den' with starry ceiling and mezzanine, a family bathroom impressively constructed almost entirely from onyx, a shower room and WC.

The house sits in about 23.42 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds. There is an all-weather tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool with a 'Cornish rock pool' design throughout and a spectacular pool slide (can be available via separate negotiation).
The grounds also include a large pond with a carefully manufactured flow system, a vegetable garden with raised beds, soft fruit cage and fullsize greenhouse, and an expansive apple orchard with apple store. The remaining grounds are laid to paddocks and woodland, with a stream running along the western border.
